Lately, myself and a friend have become rather interested in learning more about machine learning. I’ve been trying to start a collection of learning materials that I either found useful or mean to go through at some point, and thought I’d write a post about it. I’m hoping this can help people who are just starting out and those who know more than me could comment and point me towards some additional material I can link to and look into myself.
**Update** Had a great response on Reddit, thanks so much for all the suggestions that have flooded in! I’ve added quite a few new links that looked good, and am currently reviewing some other materials I’ll link to soon. This list will continue to evolve with links to new content as I find them (or am alerted by others). Follow me on Twitter for updates and new posts on machine learning, research and statistics.

thanks for a comprehensive and up-to-date list of learning material
You’re welcome Chris. There’s a few more MOOC links I’m planning to put up in the next few days too that I’ve been reviewing in my spare time 🙂
